On April 15, 2023, violent conflict broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), beginning in the capital, Khartoum, and quickly spreading across the country.Over 9 million people are internally displaced in Sudan and about 12 million have fled their homes, making it the largest displacement crisis in the world. It is estimated that more than 150,000 people have lost their lives.
Humanitarian groups, including the Danish Refugee Council, warn: “If bullets don’t K*ll, hunger will.”. Sudan’s conflict has created the world’s largest hunger crisis, with around 25 million people - half the country’s population - facing acute hunger. Sudan has been described as facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
Despite the scale of this crisis, Sudan receives very limited media coverage—both globally and in Denmark. It has been called “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis you rarely hear about.”. This lack of attention has serious consequences:
- Less political pressure on international authorities and actors
- Fewer donations to humanitarian organisations
- A silencing of Sudanese voices at a time when they need most solidarity
This event is an effort to:
- Spread awareness about the crisis in Sudan
- Raise funds for humanitarian aid
- Create space for community, learning, and solidarity

PROGRAMME:
12:00 - 19:00 | FLEA-MARKET
All the profit will be donated directly to Sururab Community Kitchen in north Omdurman. They provide the only reliable meal of the day for many displaced families - serving over 44,000 meals each month. Local women volunteers, many of them internally displaced, run the kitchen and turn every donation directly into food, while being a space for resilience and dignity where the community supports one another in the hardest times.
Come sell or buy second-hand items, crafts, or food. All contributions support the cause.
